A HORSE that was stranded in muddy ground was rescued by fire crews on Tuesday morning.
Firefighters from Wheatley, Kidlington and Reading were called to a large animal rescue near Tetsworth, near Thame, just after 10am.
Air inflated pathways were used and a specialist cradle via a dedicated rescue vehicle with a crane arm lifted the horse free from the quagmire.
